2013 hunting, fishing licenses on sale beginning Saturday, Dec. 15

License fees remain unchanged for 2013. The last increase for a hunting license was in 2002, and for fishing license was 2003. Vendor fees were increased and passed on to the license buyer in 2010 to help offset the cost of developing the second generation electronic license system for Iowa.

2012 licenses are valid through Jan. 10, 2013.

Starting Jan. 1, hunters and anglers will have new licenses from which to choose, including:

Bonus Line License — allowing resident and nonresident anglers to fish with one additional line (the regular fishing license allows two), for $12.
